Stories of “messing about in boats”

Much nautical literature focuses on the high seas, circumnavigations, big races, or great ships. "Small Boats on Green Waters" takes the other tack: it gathers the best writing on small boats—sailboats, canoes, kayaks, and rowboats—having grand adventures on rivers, lakes, and near shore on the ocean. This is for anyone who finds, as Ratty so famously put it, that “there is nothing—absolutely nothing—half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats.”

Chock-a-block with great boating writers both classic and modern, this book will delight anyone who enjoys life on the water, and all the wondrous places our small boats can take us.

Includes: John McPhee, Pete Spectre, Arthur Ransome, Anthony Bailey, Stephen Jones, Robb White, Erskine Childers, Farley Mowat, Nathaniel Bishop, John MacGregor, John Muir, Joe Richards, Henry David Thoreau, Jerome K. Jerome, Matthew Goldman, Harlan Hubbard, E. F. Knight, Weston Martyr, and many more!
